The Sky Blues started their campaign with successive victories over Alaves and Valencia, before losing their next two against Villarreal and Osasuna, but they were back to winning ways last weekend, beating Real Valladolid 3-1, with Borja Iglesias scoring his third league goal of the season.

Last season, Athletic Club won a trophy for the first time in over 40 years as they won the Copa del Rey against Real Mallorca in the final in Seville. They also finished fifth with an entertaining style of football that consists of an exciting attacking quartet but there are some injury issues for this weekend that we will get to.
